What you will do...
After a drive to the south of the green island of Corfu, we will reach Achilleion Palace, built in 1891, dedicated to Empress Elisabeth of Austria - better known as Sissi - to her favorite antique hero. It is literally a summer palace with columns and marble busts. Here you can visit the generously furnished premises and the beautiful garden. From the terrace you have a fascinating view of the Ionian Sea. After this imperial stay, we drive towards Corfu town.
Corfu, the capital of the island is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is characterized by its long occupation of the Venetians and the British. We'll take a stroll through the lanes of the old town, along the esplanade and the Liston boulevard. Linger over the Liston and watch the bustle enjoying a cold glass of frappe.
Certainly, you share the opinion of the Empress, who said: 'Wherever I come back from, I say: Here is the most beautiful part of the world'. Anyone who has ever been to the island knows what Sissi meant by that.
